i liked most of this movie, but once mowgli goes to the village, the entire movie collapses. the darker, more serious tone serves as a fresh perspective on the classic jungle book story that had already been told many times. these jungle animals are not going to burst into song, they live in a harsh brutal world and have been hardened by it. it isnt as fun to watch as favreaus jungle book, but we didnt need another version of that film, which is already done pretty well. this is a new take that has some merits and can stand on its own apart from the other adaptations of the story. i liked the... read more
